5 Quick Ways to Improve Your Credit Score in 30 Days
Your credit score is more than just a number — it's your financial passport. Whether you’re planning to buy a home, get a car loan, or launch a business, a better score opens more doors. Good news? You can improve your score in just 30 days with a few smart moves.
1. Pay Down Credit Card Balances
If you're using more than 30% of your credit limit, your score may be suffering. Make an extra payment this month to bring your balances down. Focus on the cards with the highest utilization rates first.
2. Ask for a Credit Limit Increase
Call your credit card companies and ask for a limit increase — just don’t spend more! A higher limit with the same balance lowers your utilization ratio, which can boost your score.
3. Dispute Errors on Your Credit Report
Review your credit report at AnnualCreditReport.com. If you spot mistakes (like an account you never opened), file a dispute ASAP. Fixing an error could give you an instant score boost.
4. Become an Authorized User
Ask a family member or close friend with good credit to add you as an authorized user on their card. Their good history could reflect positively on your report — and it won’t hurt their score.
5. Pay On Time — Every Time
Even one missed payment can tank your score. Set up autopay or calendar reminders to stay on top of all due dates.
